Two nights ago on Jay Leno 2 young women sang a song mocking people who send letters in their Christmas cards bragging about their family's accomplishments that year, or share really weird information like I may do in my blog. I usually like letters in cards though. I don't care if it's a xeroxed (do people say "xeroxed" anymore?) letter or not. I like being caught up on what's been going on. Pictures are always nice too. I did received a card today though that was pretty incredible. I won't go in to detail but it was a brag letter like you can't even imagine. If someone told me these things in person I wouldn't know what to say. Maybe, "wow, your child is so awesome. You must be so proud", would be appropriate. That's not what I'd want to say though. In my head I might be saying, "Are you serious? Aren't you even a little embarrassed to be saying these things to us mere mortals?"
If any of you send me a year end letter, seriously, I'd love to get it. I promise I won't make fun......really, I like them. A little bragging is ok. A LOT of bragging just may make people talk about you in their blog.
BWAAAAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa. I love this. Every year I wait in anticipation of my most favorite letter. It comes from a former grad student who tells every stinkin' detail of her life over the past year, including all of her surgeries, her mother's surgeries, her cat's surgeries, her illnesses -- you get the picture. I'm hoping she doesn't let me down this year because I want so much to share it with my friend, Amy, who once tutored her. She's never been lucky enough to receive one of them.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like the "xeroxed" letters or even the emails that get sent to a thousand people. I like my cards and emails to be personal. That's why I write a blog. So those that are interested in what I am doing can read it. Those who aren't don't have to go through the process deleting or shredding.
